Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare hereditary disease characterised by systemic degeneration of elastic tissue. Calcification of elastic fibres seen histologically is pathognomonic for the disorder. Most pseudoxanthoma elasticum patients show no serious complications during pregnancy.
We report a case of a 29-year-old white woman with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, who delivered a healthy infant at the 35th week by cesarean section after an uneventful pregnancy. Sonographic and histological placental findings are described.
Pregnancy in a patient with pseudoxanthoma elasticum presents some problems such as the evolution of the disease in the soon to be mother and the influence of the disease on the pregnancy. In our case there were no fetal-maternal complications related to the disease except skin lesion aggravation.
弹性假黄瘤(PXE)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病,其特征为弹性组织的全身性退变。组织学上可见的弹性纤维钙化是该疾病的特征性表现。大多数弹性假黄瘤患者在孕期无严重并发症。
我们报告一例29岁患有弹性假黄瘤的白人女性病例,该患者在孕期顺利,于孕35周行剖宫产分娩一健康婴儿。描述了超声和组织学检查的胎盘结果。
弹性假黄瘤患者怀孕存在一些问题,如疾病在即将成为母亲的患者身上的进展以及该疾病对妊娠的影响。在我们的病例中,除皮肤病变加重外,未出现与该疾病相关的母婴并发症。
